Import Shipments of Solar Thermal Collectors by Country, 2008 and 2009
Solar thermal devices use direct heat from the sun, concentrating it in
some manner to produce heat at useful temperatures. The modern solar
industry began with the oil embargo of 1973-1974 and was strengthened
with the second embargo in 1979. The growth of the solar industr...
